But there’s tension, right? I mean, a film like this one sounds like it could really grab you by the eyelashes and rip your interest veins right outta you, huh? Well, yeah, I suppose there is some tension. I mean, I had to worry every time she ran away from the bad guys, cause I was never sure if they were gonna catch her or not, and heck, what about her poor friend, I mean, who knew what would happen to him? One-two-three. Can we all count that high? Yes? Well, then you’ve solved the dilemma of this screenplay (Which apparently took up to five guys to develop???) It connects all the dots from A to Z, and leaves nothing to the imagination. The musical score? Standard. The bad guys? Standard. The conclusion…the directing? Standard, standard! I guess this movie wouldn’t really hurt you if you were dying and looking to kill some time before you knock, knock, knocked on Heaven’s door, but then again, it might just make your journey a little more painful. If you’re really interested in this film’s valid premise, and technology is really starting to scare the beejeezus out of you, well then go check out ENEMY OF THE STATE (7/10), and enjoy a smarter script and a wider array of stars. See Will Smith run. See Jon Voight run after him. Oh, happy-happy, joy-joy! Now let’s watch THE NET again. There’s Sandra typing so quickly. And running. Run Sandra, run!
